Polotnik: The International Master of the Chessboard

Meet Polotnik, an International Master officially bestowed by FIDE – a title earned through intense battles and cunning strategies on sixty-four squares. Polotnik might not have a cape, but with a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2780 and bullet rating clawing its way past 2638, you'd forgive anyone who mistook them for a chess superhero.

A Journey of Pawns, Knights, and Many Wins

Since 2020, Polotnik's ratings have fluctuated like a knight dancing around a fork, but always remaining in the upper echelon. With a blitz rating peaking at 2780 in 2023 and a bullet rating high of 2638 in 2022, this player’s prowess is undeniable. The average blitz rating tiptoes above 2650, while bullet games keep an impressive 2500+ standing.

Style and Stamina

Polotnik is no quitter: early resignations? Zero. The games can stretch long, with wins lasting nearly 78 moves on average, proving patience is more than a virtue—it’s a weapon. Endgames are a playground (played in about 86% of games), where Polotnik shines with tactical finesse and razor-sharp endgame awareness.
And when things look bleak? The comeback rate is a staggering 92.45%. Lost a piece? Don't worry—Polotnik’s win rate after such setbacks is a flawless 100%, transforming adversity into triumph.

Opponent Chronicles & Winning Streaks

The dossier of foes reads like a who's who of chess challengers with memorable victories against 100% of recent opponents like juliodiaz_2002 and amin_molaei. The longest winning streak? A majestic 10 in a row. Currently riding a streak of 4 wins — it seems the momentum train doesn’t stop here anytime soon.

Quirks and Quests

Polotnik’s tilt factor is a modest 7, which might translate as “gets slightly miffed when the knight forks a rook,” but overall remains cool-headed under pressure. Match timing is a strategic play too: Sunday games and late evening hours (like 21:00 and 22:00) mark Polotnik's highest win percentages—prime time to catch those brilliant moves.

In Conclusion

Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or an epic endgame grind, Polotnik embodies the relentless spirit and mental agility of a grand chess strategist.
